Competitor Watch assumes there’s a reasonable number of actively blogging competitors to track. In a genuinely niche industry, that assumption can break down fast — there might be only two or three businesses in your space that...

Miss a few weeks of Competitor Watch review and you’ll come back to a queue that’s genuinely intimidating — a dozen or more items from multiple competitors, all waiting for a decision. Working through that one at...
